Unable to open two captures simultaneously for review on MAC OS X

0

I have checked the various settings / preferences and am unable to determine how to view multiple files at same time on Wireshark 1.11.3. I was able to do this on previous versions. This issue is limited to my MAC OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks.

What do you mean by "view multiple files at the same time"? Do you mean open two instances of Wireshark? Or do you mean open a file in a file set (i.e., following the Filename_00001_20050604101530.pcap pattern) and see the files in the File->File set->List Files dialog box?

I can do both of those things with 1.11.3 on Mavericks, though opening two instance of Wireshark requires opening the second one from the command line instead of clicking the Applications->Wireshark app icon (but that's always been true as far as I know).
